I'm bi-polar, and have had some definite breaks from reality in the past but I have never missed work. I do know plenty of people who collect disability but are much better off than the bagger at the grocery store or the guy in the wheelchair at one of my former jobs. I don't understand how someone can't talk on a phone or take orders with a computer because a leg doesn't work... oh well... I happen to like crazy people.

Dude, I only get about $AU177 a week. For comparison, a single-season DVD set usually costs about $AU40, a current-gen video game costs about $AU90, and a VCR costs about $200 (and a pack of three 180-minute VHS tapes can cost upto $12 at the post-office). Speaking of which, it is obvious to all around me that I am unable to have a regular job, even stuff like file-clerk or trash-man. Writing a blogspot post is easy, writing a paper letter is something I can't do at all.
